6. Inspect the paper filter for tears, an oily film,
and damage to the rubber seal.
Important: Never clean the paper
element with pressurized air or liquids,
such as solvent, gas, or kerosene. Replace
the paper element if it is damaged, or
cannot be cleaned thoroughly (i.e., after
approximately 100 operating hours).
Installing the Filters
Important: To prevent engine damage,
always operate the engine with the complete
foam and paper air cleaner assembly installed.
1. Carefully slide the foam pre-filter onto the
paper filter (Figure 27).
2. Place the air cleaner assembly onto the air
cleaner base (Figure 25).
3. Install the cover, spacer and secure it with the
cover nut (Figure 25). Torque the nut to 95
inch-lb (11 N⋅m).
4. Install the air cleaner cover and secure with the
knob (Figure 25).
5. Close the hood.

Changing the Oil
1. Start the engine and let it run for five minutes.
This warms the oil so it drains better.
2. Park the traction unit so that the drain side is
slightly lower than the opposite side to ensure
that the oil drains completely.
3. Lower the loader arms, set the parking brake,
stop the engine, and remove the key.
Components will be hot if the traction
unit has been running. If you touch hot
components you may be burned.
Allow the traction unit to cool before
performing maintenance or touching
components under the hood.
4. Remove the drain plug (Figure 29).
